Athlete of the Day May 31, 2013: Maia Jorgenson

Maia Jorgenson

Matthew Halton School student Maia Jorgenson was an outstanding participant in the South Western Junior High Athletic Association (SWJHAA) Junior District Track and Field Meet held a St. Michael's School field in Pincher Creek on Wednesday, May 29. 

A Midget-level athlete in the event, she took first place in the 100 metre Dash, the 200 metre Dash, the 80 metre Hurdles, Long Jump, and as part of the Halton Midget Girls 4x100 metre Relay team (which also included Mary Dietze, Miranda Van Loon, and Claire Madsen). It's likely she broke a record or two, but that hasn't been confirmed yet.

She was one of the outstanding athletes at last year's SWJHAA Junior track event as well.

She's an outstanding scholar, a good sport, and seemingly determined to excel at everything she does. She's made a name for herself as one of the finest athletes in the region.

A serious athlete
